PocketRocket Posted August 28, 2005 Report Posted August 28, 2005 A couple months ago I got an e-mail from a friend. It had text, and for every line a link, but the links didn't work for me. I kept it around in the hopes I could get them to work. No luck. The text is still kinda funny, and in light of some of the debates going down here, somewhat pertinent. I'm sure some of you will enjoy it, and many will have some kind of negative comment, but what the hell, it's all in good fun. Here it is.... SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF ?Smarties Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp. The size of our footballs fields and one less down. Baseball is Canadian. Lacrosse is Canadian. Hockey is Canadian. Basketball is Canadian. Apple pie is Canadian. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass. Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon MaKenzie King who was insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home and partied...Go figure.. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone. anywhere. EVER. Our civil war was fought in a bar and it lasted a little over an hour. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing... but showed up just in time to get caught. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on. The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives each year. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it. A Canadian invented Superman. We have coloured money. Our beer advertisments kick ass. BUT MOST IMPORTANT! The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh Canada!! oh yeah... and our elections only take one day. Quote I need another coffee
